When a Podcast Becomes More Than a Podcast.

Every once in a while, the data tells a story you already felt in your bones.

Spotify just released their Wrapped for Creators stats, and The Church Hub Podcast—produced by CLLCTV Agency—landed in the top 83% of most-shared podcasts across the new channel and podcast platform.

Not bad for a show that started with a couple of microphones, a mission to strengthen church leaders, and a Sr. Content Director (Myra Lundstrom) who practically runs a command center disguised as a home office.

Let’s talk about the win—and why it matters far beyond the numbers.

The Episode That Broke Through This Year

Every podcast has that moment where the mix of story, wisdom, and raw humanity hits a different gear. For The Church Hub Podcast, it was:

Episode #002 with Andrea Griffith and Ann Wilson

This single episode was played 154% more than the average episode this year.

It resonated because it was honest. It was pastoral. It didn’t shy away from the battles ministry families face, or the hope that keeps them rooted when the ground gets uneven.

And while that episode rose above the rest, it wasn’t alone in the spotlight.

Other Heavy-Hitting, Highly Shared Episodes

It wasn’t just one channel taking off—several of our partner shows also hit Spotify’s “most shared” category.
Among the standouts:

• Kent Shaw’s Intrepid Church Coaching Podcast
  Guiding pastors and planters with the blunt honesty only Kent can deliver.
• Garrett & Rachel Higbee — Soul Care Consulting
  Equipping leaders to shepherd from a place of wholeness, not burnout.

When your top-performing episodes are about coaching, soul care, and ministering to ministers, it tells you something:
Leaders are hungry. And the church is listening.

Behind the Scenes: How the Network Is Growing

This year, CLLCTV quietly pushed a massive initiative forward—scaling a 13-channel podcast network for TheChurchHub.org.

Thirteen.
Different.
Voices.

Each with a different target audience, different tone, and different lane of ministry influence.

A snapshot of what’s now in production:

• Phil Taylor — Backstage Pastors (for XP’s, Ops Directors, and the unsung heroes of the local church)
• Meredith Andrews & Kyle Fredricks — Worship Leader Podcast (creatives discipling creatives)
• Earl Seals — NS Publishing & Leadership Frameworks (for thinkers and builders shaping the future)
• Coaching, Soul Care, Discipleship, Growth, Ministry Wives, Young Adult Ministry, Church Planting, and more launching throughout 2026.

Quick Access To All TheChurchHub.org Podcast Conversations

Most people don’t see the amount of coordination, editing, content strategy, and brand systems required to make a multi-channel network sustainable.
But Myra Lundstrom sees it.
She builds it.

And Larry Lundstrom—CLLCTV’s founder—hosts, coaches, produces, and engineers every week in the studio, making sure each channel stays sharp, aligned, and technically excellent.

The result?
A distributed ecosystem of voices equipping pastors and leaders at scale.

Why This Matters (More Than the Metrics)

Podcast charts don’t transform the church.
People do.

But metrics do reveal something: attention is shifting toward equipping, honesty, and real discipleship conversation.
The church world isn’t looking for polished marketing—they’re looking for voices that help them thrive in the trenches.

If the top shared episodes are about leadership health, calling, soul care, and practical support…
that’s a sign of the times.
And honestly, a good one.

What’s Coming Next

We’re not slowing down.

2025–2026 will be the expansion phase—more channels, more voices, more leaders being reached.
From DE&I conversations to coaching frameworks, to worship culture, to ministry wives and leadership resilience… this network is just beginning to stretch its wings.

And with each show we produce, the mission stays the same:

Equip leaders. Build the church. Raise the standard.
